Scott Sorenson gave more years to the CRBL than almost anyone. His 36 years (tied for second most) and 363 games (15th) spanned parts of five decades. In his 21 seasons with the Hallie Eagles, he helped the team to a combined 201-158 record with five divisional pennants (1984, ’86-’88, and ’96) and two CRBL championships in ’84 and ’96. Additionally, the team went to the WBAs ten times, five of them as manager, compiling a 14-10 record.

Augusta went 102-77 during his time with seven WBAs, one under his guidance, and Beef River was 49-61 in his playing days and 78-76 when he managed. In the end, as a manager he ranked high in several categories, including seasons, games, wins (all 3rd), and winning percentage (20th). As to the WBAs, he ranks tied for 5th in appearances, 10th in games, and 14th in wins.

As a player, Sarge ranks among the leaders in a multitude of categories. Among them are at bats (26th), hits (33rd), singles (31st), home runs (43rd), RBI (39th), runs (50th), walks (15th), and total bases (40th).

A six-time all-star, he was always a hitter to be reckoned with. He even flashed some speed to go with his power in the younger days as he led the league in triples with three in 1988.

Sarge’s numbers might have been even better, but he took some time off to serve in Afghanistan later in his career. And so, we not only honor him for his contributions to the CRBL, but also thank him for his service.
